Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev (, – 12 September 1919) was a
Russian playwright, novelist and short-story writer, who is considered to be a father of
Expressionism in Russian literature. He is regarded as one of the most talented and prolific representatives of the
Silver Age literary period. Andreyev's style combines the elements of
realist,
naturalist, and
symbolist schools in literature. Of his 25 plays, his 1915 play ''
He Who Gets Slapped'' is regarded as his finest achievement.
